Lizette,
If you have DSS, you can run the following to find datasets that are not
cataloged:
//*
//* LIST DATA SETS NOT CATALOGED ON A VOLUME
//*
//NOCAT EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,PARM='TYPRUN=NORUN'
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTPUT DD DUMMY
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP DS (BY ((CATLG EQ NO))) -
INDYNAM((WRK001) , -
(WRK002)) ODD(OUTPUT)
Note the PARM=NORUN - this causes DSS to only report what uncataloged
datasets are on the volumes you specify, it does not actually dump them.
I've used this for SMS and non-SMS volumes. When I run this, all I see
are the SYS1.VTOCIX.Vvolser data sets listed.
How often? I've not found a great reason to do this on any scheduled
basis. Of course, YMMV in your shop depending on the answer to your
third question - which I'll leave to a good storage management person
who's a lot smarter than I am about how you get SMS data sets on SMS
volumes that are not cataloged...

Looking to find the best process to identify and delete uncataloged data
sets that are in SMS Pools. These can either be VSAM or NON VSAM data
sets.
How often should this process run?
How would I go about reducing or elimiating the fact data sets can be
not cataloged in SMS Pools?
Thanks for the input.
